Chapter 2:

Running Under the Dangerous New Moon

Tonight's the night... Inu Yasha was going to make his move. All he had to now was have dinner with his family and wait four more hours till his demon side would disappear and then he could leave. All he needed to do now was go talk to his brother and tell him his plan... hopefully he wouldn't blackmail Inu Yasha into giving him chocolate...

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

"My Son, you seem awfully quiet today. What is troubling you?" Queen Rika asked her son. It was dinnertime and his family was already having suspicions about him.

"Yashie!!! Yashie, mad! Mama, why Yashie mad?" A little hanyou girl asked. Rika smiled at her youngest daughter Serenity. "Yashie is not mad honey, now are you son?" Rika then turned her attention to her son.

'Great I hate lying to mother but it's the only way...' "No I'm not mad mother; it's just tonight is...." Inu Yasha was then cut off by his older brother Sesshomaru.

"Ahh, Mother, have you forgot tonight is his time of the month? You know he gets into his mood swings; I swear he's like a girl when they're on their periods. He's cranky and moody and I never heard of a man with that time of the month." Sesshomaru then began to laugh. "My own brother has a time of the month where he has to turn into a useless hum..." Before he could finish Inu Yasha cut him off.

"So I may have a time of the month but at least I don't look like a girl! If you weren't with Rin I would think you were gay with Jaken." When Inu Yasha finished, Sesshomaru jumped on him.

"ENOUGH!" Lord InuTaisho bellowed. "Sesshomaru stop talking about your brother having a woman's period. Besides, theirs last longer, and his is only one night." InuTaisho stated.

"Thanks Father, that really helps me." Inu Yasha grumbled while Sesshomaru snickered.

"Also, Inu Yasha, don't call your brother girl looking, it's not his fault he looks so girlish," Lord InuTaisho told his youngest son. Inu Yasha then started laughing his ass off while Sesshomaru gave everyone except his mother a death glare.

After laughing so hard it made him cry, Inu Yasha stood up. "I'll be in the garden, and if anyone besides you guys, Miroku, or Sango need me tell them to fuck off." Inu Yasha told his family.

"INUYASHA! You are the prince of the eastern and Western Lands! We do not need a soon-to-be ruler to have a bad mouth." His mother looked slightly angry with him, but she knew that her expression would fade soon. She could never stay mad at her two sons and daughters, and husband. It didn't really matter that Sesshomaru was not her son, because he always treated her like a mother.

"I'm sorry mother it shall not happen again. Inu Yasha told her. 'It won't happen in front of you at least.' Inu Yasha thought. "Well, I'm off. I'll see you guys soon." Inu Yasha then got up. He walked over and gave his mother and little sister a kiss, and then he walked over to his father and shook his hand and flicked off his brother.

"INUYASHA! What did your mother just tell you?!" Now his father was ticked off, no son of his was going to speak that way even if he did. "Mother told me not to cuss... She never said about that I could not flick people off. Now, if you will excuse me, I need to take a walk." With that Inu Yasha left. When he was half way to the garden he heard his father say "Smartass" and Inu Yasha replied.

"Of Course I'm a smartass I get it from you!" With that Inu Yasha ran so he was far enough that his father wouldn't come running after him.

"Mama Yashie funny!!! Yashie, make dad look like a red balloon, Yashie funny!" Serenity said. Rika smiled at her four-year-old daughter. "Yea baby, he is funny." She said as she began eating her dinner again.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

Inu Yasha walked into the garden. Whenever he needed to think he would just go and come to this spot. He knew in his mind that once he left home, this would be one of the most things he missed. He jumped on top of the Sakura tree. 'I wonder if I'll ever find someone to love me for me? Is it even possible?' He sadly thought. He began to close his eyes, only to jump up a second later. He smelt her. But how could that be?

As he jumped off his branch and landed on his feet, he came face to face with a woman with silver blue eyes. As he backed away, he saw the girl smirk. She had pearly white fangs and light shaded lipstick. Her smirk was very arrogant; it made her look exactly him. She was wearing a short black shirt that went a little above her belly button.

Around her pierced belly was a sun tattoo. Down her back she had her name in big Japanese handwriting. Her hair was midnight black and had two big red streaks in the front. silver tips. Her hair was also layered. On top of her head were two black ears with dark redsilver tips. This meant she was a hanyou.

Inu Yasha smiled big and grabbed the young girl and swung her around. "Rain!!!! My god Rain! I thought you wouldn't make it. Inu Yasha then put down his twin sister.

"Come on Inu-bro, you know I had to come see you guys, It has been almost a year! Plus why not come and visit my family on my human night? At least I know I will be safe for sure!" She smiled at her brother.

Rain left last year to train more as a fighter. She hadn't visited her family since the day she left. Even though Inu Yasha would deny it, he missed his twin sister. They had a special twin bond. "I knew you be here. So where's fluffy and Serena?" She missed her older brother and little sister a lot.

"They are all probably still eating dinner. Why not go see them?" Rain nodded.

"I will, catch you later Inu-bro!" Rain smiled as she began to leave. Inu Yasha looked at his watch. He then gasped and began to run. He had to get to his room, before anyone else in the castle saw he was human.

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

It was 5 minutes till he turned human. Inu Yasha had to hurry up and get into his room so no one saw him. He ran as fast as he could. He reached his door with a minute to spare and when he walked in he saw the scariest thing...

His brother singing to his mate Rin.

"OH FUCKING SHIT!" Inu Yasha screamed. "GOD, SESSHOMARU, YOU SCARED THE FUCK OUT OF ME AND WITH YOUR TERRIBLE SINGING!! I THOUGHT YOU WERE SOME KIND OF BANSHEE DEMON!"

As soon as Inu Yasha finished his sentence his demon powers slowly began to fade. His once white hair turned black, his claws and fangs disappeared and were replaced with human nails and teeth. Then at last his fuzzy ears disappeared and human ears popped up.

" Aww, look at my cute little human brother Rin. Doesn't he look better like this?" Sesshomaru asked his mate Rin, who was a human.

"No, Fluffy, I like his cute doggie ears. I would miss them to much." Rin spoke softly. Inu Yasha looked at his sister-in-law. If it weren't for her Sesshomaru wouldn't be so kind and loving to humans.

Rin looked at Inu Yasha. Rin always worried about that boy. She knew that hanyous had trouble-finding mates because they were neither species. In fact, Inu Yasha and his sisters are the only hanyous she knew of. Humans and demons got along, but it was unheard of for them to get married. " My mate, I think I shall go." Rin told Sesshomaru. "I'm very tired. I shall see you in the morning." With that Rin left the room.

"Inu Yasha, I came in here to see what is disturbing you." Sesshomaru told his little brother. "So now talk... but before you start, get me a bag of chocolate from your closet, I have a feeling this is a long story."

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

"So you don't want to marry Kikyo and you're planning to run away." Sesshomaru and Inu Yasha had been talking for an hour straight. "I thought you do something like this Inu Yasha, and that's why I have brought something useful to you."

Inu Yasha stared at his brother. 'Is he actually going to help me without asking me for something in return?'

"But it will cost you" Sesshomaru told his little brother. Inu Yasha then sweatdropped.

'I knew it was to good to be true.' "What is it, Sess? You want me to be your personal slave?" Inu Yasha told his brother knowing perfectly well he was not going to do it anyway.

"No all I want is chocolate... lots of it." Inu Yasha just nodded. He couldn't believe a Great Lord like Sesshomaru had a weakness that was chocolate.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

After Inu Yasha gave Sesshomaru his secret stash of chocolate in his closet, Sesshomaru gave him a piece of parchment. "This is a sealing spell, Yash. It will seal your demon looks and you will remain human. That way no one will know what you are." Sesshomaru then looked sick.

'Maybe he ate too much chocolate' Inu Yasha thought, but unfortunately that wasn't the case. It was that he was actually helping out his brother without him asking first.

'Rin has made me soft. I need to get tough again.' Sesshomaru thought.

"Sesshomaru, but what if Mother and Father come looking for me? They know what I look like." Inu Yasha now doubted his brother's plan. Sure, it was a good one, but if his mother and father came looking for him he be in deep shit!

"Inu Yasha, Mother and Father will not leave with Naraku running around, but if they did you wouldn't have to worry about them, you never let them see you change into a human since you were seven. Also, take Tetsusaiga, you might need it."

Then came a knock at the door. "Master Sesshomaru are you in here?" It was Jaken, Sesshomaru's loyal servant.

"Ahh, Jaken come in, but shut the door quickly." As Jaken entered, Inu Yasha went where there was no light in his room so that Jaken wouldn't notice he was human.

' Man I cannot stand that frog.' Inu Yasha then gave Jaken an evil grin. As Jaken entered Inu Yasha tripped him.

Jaken gave Inu Yasha a disgusting look. "Master Sesshomaru why are you in here with this riff raff human?" 'Pitiful human, I don't care even if he is Sesshomaru's half brother I still can't stand him.'

'WHAT THE FUCK... HE KNOWS I'M HUMAN? FUCKING GREAT IF HE FUCKING TELLS ANYONE I'LL FUCKING KILL HIM!'

Inu Yasha then stepped out of the shadows and gave Jaken a dirty look.

"Hello, you bastard! I see you now know the day when I turn human. If you ever reveal it to anyone I'll kill you!" Inu Yasha wasted no time. He grabbed him by the neck and started choking him.

"Got it, frog boy? Or do I need to repeat myself?" Inu Yasha looked ready to kill; he hated the frog ever since he saw him trying to kill Miroku.

Jaken was scared shitless, but he was not going to give up to a human. "You worthless human put me down you dirty blooded bastard!" Jaken then smiled. "Lord Sesshomaru only keeps you a round for fun so when he feels like punching someone he has you." After Jaken finished his sentence Sesshomaru gave him a death glare.

"Jaken don't you EVER talk about my brother like that, he is a future king and you are just a servant." Sesshomaru gave Jaken one of those say-one-more-thing-and-I'll-kill-you look.

"Y..Yes my Lord I apologize. I wanted to tell you that Lady Rin said she will be in town tonight and when you are done with Inu Yasha, come get her."

" Well Jaken you can go." Sesshomaru replied to his servant.

"Oh, yes Jaken please go and let me help you out the door." Inu Yasha then grabbed Jaken by the legs and started swinging him. Sesshomaru opened the door and Inu Yasha let him go. Jaken fell down the stairs and made a big thump. Sesshomaru then heard Jaken get up and curse about stupid weak humans.

"Sorry, Inu Yasha but you didn't kill him." Sesshomaru watched his brother grumble about him being weak, because he was human, and if he were his normal self he would have killed him.

"Damn and I really wanted frog legs for dinner when I got back." Inu Yasha said. He then got up and tied a rope securely to his bedpost. Inu Yasha was just about to climb out of the window when Sesshomaru grabbed him.

"Wait. I have one last present." Sesshomaru then left, leaving a very confused hanyou.

'Since when does he like helping me so much? 'Inu Yasha thought. Sesshomaru returned 3 minutes later with a pair of red clothing.

"Father told me to give this to you when I felt you were ready to have it." Sesshomaru then handed over a red robe and pants that was made out of fire rat clothing.

"B..But this is fire rat clothing only given to the best warriors so they have more protection." Inu Yasha could not believe what his brother was giving him.

"Yes it is given to the best warriors. I think that since you trained all your life and you can almost beat anyone in the castle, except me, means you are a very good warrior." Inu Yasha looked at his brother strangely.

'What is he thinking to do?' Sesshomaru thought. What happened next just simply shocked him. Inu Yasha ran up and gave his brother a great big hug.

"OH HOLY FUCKING SHIT, INUYASHA! WHAT THE FUCK ARE YOU DOING??!!" Sesshomaru looked like he could kill his little brother. Inu Yasha didn't care as he was so happy that his brother was actually helped him.

"Inu.... Yasha" Sesshomaru grinded his teeth. 'Look at what I did. Lord, if doing good deeds for my brother gets me this, I will never ever do it again!'

Inu Yasha then let go. Sesshomaru then tried to swipe him with his claws, but Inu Yasha was already in the bathroom changing into his new clothes.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

As soon as Inu Yasha was done he hurried up and grabbed his sword, a bag that contain money and clothes, and Tetsusaiga. His brother then grabbed him and jumped from the window. When they landed they heard footsteps and Sesshomaru threw Inu Yasha into the bushes. "SESSHOMARU YOU STUPID MOTHER FUC..."

"Hush, Inu Yasha! Do you want to get caught by Mom, Dad, Rain, or even worse Sango? You know she thinks of us like her brothers since Naraku destroyed her family, and he is manipulating her little brother. She would make sure you never leave because she is afraid of losing her only family now, which is us."

Inu Yasha then quieted down. He didn't want to hurt Sango. She was like a sister to him. The footsteps died down until they heard a loud SMACK followed by "YOU PERVERTED PIECE OF FUCKING SHIT! IF YOU EVER TOUCH ME AGAIN, I'LL FUCKING KILL YOU MIROKU!" This was the voice of Sango. As Sango walked off Miroku came around the corner.

"It's only Miroku." Inu Yasha murmured to his brother.

"Inu Yasha is that you?" Miroku had a great big red handprint on his cheek.

"Keh, of course it's me Miroku who else could it be?" Inu Yasha stated it sarcastically. "Well I'm off Sesshomaru." Inu Yasha spoke to his brother.

"Wait Inu Yasha where are you going?" Miroku was confused since he just got to see his best friend for only about a minute and he was already leaving.

"Miroku I'm leaving for a while but can you take care of Mom for me?" Inu Yasha spoke hoping the monk would not refuse.

Miroku then walked up the Inu Yasha and bopped him on his head.

"WHAT THE FUCK WAS THAT FOR, MONK!?" Inu Yasha bellowed.

"You didn't answer my question Inu Yasha. Where are you going?" Miroku looked calm but he knew even with Inu Yasha human what he just did to him was dangerous.

"Listen Monk I..." Before Inu Yasha finished Sesshomaru interrupted.

"Inu Yasha is on a journey. You must not tell no one, Miroku, got it? Inu Yasha shall be living in one of the towns." Sesshomaru told him but then he went into a whisper so only Miroku could hear him. "Track him down and make sure no one knows who he really is and don't worry bout mother, I'll take care of her." As Sesshomaru finished he gave Miroku don't-ask-anymore-questions-or-die look. Miroku just nodded and scooted a few feet back.

"Miroku, answer my question. Will you watch over Mother?" Inu Yasha gave him a puppy dogface.

"Of course, Inu Yasha, I shall watch her." Miroku told him.

"Thanks Miroku you are such a great friend." Things were going great so far, until Sesshomaru had to interrupt.

"Watch it Miroku he might just go up and hug or even worse...kiss you." Sesshomaru laughed when he saw the monk's face; it was so priceless.

Miroku back up like 10 feet from Inu Yasha. "U...mm I have to go, see you when you get back Yash!" With that Miroku ran like his life depended upon it. Sesshomaru then grabbed Inu Yasha and hopped over the gates. When he put him down, Inu Yasha then went up to him and shook his hand.

"Thanks for your help brother." Inu Yasha then stared at his brother. 'Oh what the hell, I think I'll laugh after this.' Inu Yasha thought.

He then grabbed his brother and hugged him and with out any word he kissed him then ran like his life was in danger. From a far a way distance Inu Yasha heard his brother roar. He knew that that was a warning that when he got back he was going to pay for what he did!

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

Miroku slowly walked back to his living quarters. As he came to his door someone came from behind him and threw him to the floor. When he looked up he saw a girl with long black hair and blue eyes. She smirked at him.

"Miroku dear, I need to have a little talk with you." Miroku gulped.

"Lady Rain…. It's so nice to see you!" He then gave her a charming smile.

Rain smiled back. "It won't be so nice if you don't answer my questions." Miroku started to sweat. "First question, where is my brother?" Miroku laughed nervously.

This was going to be a loooong night.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

Inu Yasha had to have been traveling for what seemed like hours. His country may have a lot of cities but they had a lot of forests too! As he was running he heard a few noises behind him, without ever noticing he was being followed. Until now.

'Shit. If only I wasn't human I could of heard or smelled them before they were this close.' Inu Yasha then turned a round.

"Come out! I know you're there!" Inu Yasha didn't expect that Naraku had been following him, but he had.

"Ahh.. Prince Inu Yasha what are you doing out here when you are not a demon. You know I will kill you in your weakened state." Naraku gave him a very cold stare.

"Like hell you will, you fucking asshole. I shall not die by the hands of you!" Inu Yasha wanted to attack him, but he knew he could not win in his form.

"Well since you think I won't kill you then, I'll have my son, Onigumo do it." Before Inu Yasha could turn around, a man was behind him. Without warning Onigumo punched the fuck out of Inu Yasha.

"Run lil Puppy, I will give chase, then I shall kill you" Onigumo told Inu Yasha. Onigumo was just as intimidating as Naraku.

Inu Yasha got up fast and he started running like the wind. He was coming by a lake, when Onigumo appeared out of nowhere.

"Now you die Prince." With that Onigumo knocked Inu Yasha down. Before Inu Yasha totally blacked out, he saw Onigumo about to ram his sword through him, when a light surrounding an arrow hit Onigumo. Onigumo was gone but a young beautiful angel stood in front of him. Then, he passed out.
